Dick collection I read, lots of good, and some great, stories in this collection! ("Paycheck" being a particular favorite!) It is kind of like a sci-fi version of the Twilight Zone! Lots of war themes, end of the world scenarios, and man vs. robot conflicts. Major political, social, and military issues and commentaries, a lot reflecting the times in which they were written. But my favorite of the bunch may be "The Eyes Have It", which is pretty darn funny and almost out of place in this group! And "Fair Game" which is majorly Twilight Zoneish! I have really become a big fan of this author! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Includes the stories that inspired the movies Total Recall, Screamers, Minority Report, Paycheck, and Next "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --The Wall Street Journal The Philip K. Dick Reader Many thousands of readers consider Philip K. Dick the greatest science fiction mind on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been further enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now given annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for The Man in the High Castle. In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? This collection includes some of Dick's earliest short and medium-length fiction, including We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (the story that inspired the motion picture Total Recall), Second Variety (which inspired the motion picture Screamers), Paycheck, The Minority Report, and twenty more.
